Usher proves he's not dead

An Usher death hoax took over the web on Tuesday. Luckily, it's not true. See how Usher celebrated his life by taking his sons to Disneyland.

Okay everyone, new rule: If you don't hear about a celebrity death on SheKnows — or another reputable news website — then it didn't happen. This method of verification will keep any more celebrity death hoaxes from happening.

And honestly, it gets pretty silly to have to report on these every week.

The victim this time? Usher. The website Global Associated News reported that the sexy singer died in a fiery car crash on Tuesday.

"Usher died in a single vehicle crash on Route 80 between Morristown and Roswell," the website wrote. "He was pronounced dead at the scene by paramedics responding to the vehicle accident and was identified by photo ID found on his body. Alcohol and drugs do not appear to have been a factor in this accident."

"The vehicle was believed to have been traveling at approximately 95 miles per hour in a 55mph zone at the time of the accident," the report continued. "Witnesses have stated that Usher's car crossed the double lines several times prior to the accident and hit the center lane divider causing the vehicle to flip and roll."
